    GM/Brembo Performance brakes - thoughts + pics

    Dealer installed. The 21+ lit is available, I think the kit for the K2 and older trucks is discontinued.

    How to stiffen suspension/stop swaying?

    I want to say it was the 7960, that looks to be the shortest one they make. I believe the sway bar kit comes with the 7961.

    How to stiffen suspension/stop swaying?

    I’m using 4” Maxtrac rear springs. I can’t confirm that they are an actual 4” drop since I had multiple springs before finding these that I liked. I have both a SWB and LWB and both have the exact same suspension setup, I had to use the shorter rear links on both.

    How to stiffen suspension/stop swaying?

    I had to buy shorter links for the rear bar because mine is lowered.

    Fosscore's 2013 Suburban LTZ Build Thread

    Yuck. The Alenzas are awful tires, I don’t know how you’ve driven on them so long. Get the Michelin Defender 2.

    2013 Escalade ESV Annual Maintenance Update: the good, the bad, and the incompetent

    There’s nothing wrong with the OEM gasket. I’ve installed hundreds of them at this point. You have another leak. Likely oil pan or rear main seal housing.

    Power running board fix discovered

    You just open the door to extend them and step on them after you close it and they stay extended. Open and close door again to resume normal function. It isn’t that big of a deal.

    6.2 ls3 GM performance crate engine

    Then how about actually saying something useful in response? I’m speaking from experience and you’re just pulling stuff from you know where. Most aftermarket cams don’t make real power until 3k RPM. Explain how that’s wrong? It isn’t. If you’re ok with WOT everywhere or at least running the...

    6.2 ls3 GM performance crate engine

    What are you even talking about? Did you read what I said at all? Who wants to have the engine screaming all the time and sounding like you’re driving a Mustang in a parking lot at WOT in 1st gear to get into the power? Not me.

    6.2 ls3 GM performance crate engine

    There are quite a few aftermarket VVT cam options out there considering how low the demand is for VVT cams because people think the only way to make power is some "hawg ass cam" and that the VVT is unreliable. I had no problem finding the Comp one I'm running in my Escalade or the Gwatney...

    6.2 ls3 GM performance crate engine

    It makes a massive difference. Go drive a 6.0L GMT-800 Denali or Escalade and then hop into a GMT-900 with the VVT 6.2L and there is a huge difference in the bottom end. Or, go look at dyno graphs of the power curve. Regardless, the cam in an LS3 is just not ideal for a truck. Just like an LS9...

    6.2 ls3 GM performance crate engine

    It could be made to work but an LS3 isn't really the best powerband for a big heavy truck. The VVT makes a huge difference for power down low where a truck needs it the most.

    New to 4WD, any info and advice appreciated

    It’s not the same. The AWD does not lock the front axle. Do not run auto if you want your drivetrain to last. It is bad for the front differential and transfer case. Sure, you’ll find some people that claim it’s fine but when the owner’s manual says not to. Why would you risk it? I’m sure...

    Real Benefits to 91/93 Octane in a regular LQ4???

    Higher octane is to prevent spark knock (also known as pre-ignition). That's it. That is the only benefit. If the vehicle doesn't require or recommend it, it is a waste of money. You will not get more power and you will not get more fuel economy...

    Window trim

    There is no advantage to trying to take the pieces apart. They’re not cheap and easy to break. It’s just a couple of rivets.

    2016 Yukon XL repairs for 100k miles

    That’s not true. Almost no one looks at shocks on a trade in or purchase unless there is a reason to. Having locked up and/or leaking/blown shocks is the safety concern and what might lower resale value. If I get under there and saw Bilsteins, I’m happy. I won’t be happy about Arnott but as long...

    Left Lexus for GMC

    I hope you took a look at all the engine failure threads around here first. At least Toyota admitted to the issue and is fixing them all. Keep the Lexus.

    2016 Yukon XL repairs for 100k miles

    Deleting the Mag Ride isn’t necessarily a bad idea since these ride so bad with it but quality suspension parts aren’t cheap. Most places that recommend it use the cheapest junk and then it doesn’t ride nice. I would either recommend buy new OEM shocks with the correct part number from Rock Auto...

    2009 Yukon Denali worth

    It’s funny you say that because GM no longer requires the coolers to be flow tested because they said it is never an issue.

    230* is perfectly normal pulling a trailer.

    2009 Yukon Denali worth

    Used prices have fallen back to pre-COVID levels. To most people, the fact that it isn’t have AFM doesn’t mean much, it’s an “ancient” car and has no tech they want. If it’s super clean, you may be able to get $10k-$12k but generally what everything else in your area is priced at is what it’s...

    2016 Yukon XL repairs for 100k miles

    Oil pan leaks should not happen but you should change a water pump and timing chain just because at 100k?

    2016 Yukon XL repairs for 100k miles

    Why would he be joking? Who better to look over a vehicle than a place that works on basically nothing but that vehicle?

    Window trim

    Most people are cheap and have them wrapped rather than replacing them. I think most of them pieces on this body style have rivets, so you’ll have to drill those out and put in new ones.
